them so much.

LN dosen't make a plane similar to the Veritas medium shoulder, only
the large. Clifton and Stanley make a medium plane.

As far as the store sending one back to Lee Valley? They obviously
feel that they will sell the planes. In my opinion, asking the store
to return a small tool to the distributor so that it can be sold to
someone else is ridiculous. The store incurs the following costs:

- return shipping
- handing (labor)
- opportunity and goodwill cost of loss of a sale to a local.

What's in it for the store?

I think you're asking a bit much.
